Intelligent sensing technology can help you ensure reproducible product quality throughout the production process, automate processes, minimize energy and resource consumption, and avoid production downtime and food waste.
As diverse as raw material quality, recipes and processes in the production of dairy and cheese products are, so are the demands on measurement technology. That‘s why we offer a complete sensor program, each with a wide range of variants and options. You get exactly the performance you want for every application and every business type, from regional producers of milk or cheese specialties to industrial dairy plants – no more, no less.

Different temperatures, different vessel shapes, pressurized or aseptic processes, different densities, differently foaming media, different turbidity and solids contents - highly different requirements and dynamic changes influence the control of the filling level of your various vessels and containers. However, at all times you need to know exactly how much product is in the vessel or ensure that a vessel does not overflow or run dry.
That’s why we offer different measuring techniques and many different designs and options so that you get the best solution for every purpose and application.

controlled, inaccurate level control in storage or process vessels, and a CIP process that is not automated.
How can I avoid waste with sensing technology?
Areas where intelligent instrumentation can help prevent losses include, in particular, phase transition between two media, insufficient product quality due to processes that are not optimally
v Our tip: Examine all your processes for their optimization potential. We will be happy to help you on site.
Many of our sensors are available as “remote” version. The actual measuring device and the electronics unit with operating display are separated. This protects the electronics from vibrations and high temperatures and can significantly increase the service life. It is also extremely practical, as you can simply place the electronics and displays where it is most convenient and accessible for easy and quick reading or programming.
v Our tip: Get the perfect overview of all processes and containers without having to bend down or walk around and ensure easy programming and longer service life with remote sensors.
= Remote version available
Turbidity
Turbidity sensors can be used to clearly distinguish between liquids based on their clarity, but also on their fat content. Do you want to safeguard your product quality by precisely monitoring the degree of turbidity? Control the phase transition of milk, cream and whey with maximum efficiency? Supervise the function of your filter systems? Reuse slightly contaminated CIP media and thus save costs? Minimize wastewater costs through contamination monitoring? Then our turbidity sensors are your perfect solution.
Flow Meters
Here’s how to keep control of your products, monitor your blending, and ensure the reliable operation of your production equipment: electromagnetic, turbine, or coriolis mass flow meters offer a solution for any media.

Anderson-Negele products are designed and built exclusively for food and beverage applications. Therefore, they meet the requirements for hygienic production, certified by 3-A and EHEDG. This means maximum hygienic protection of your products, easy equipment cleaning , and ultimately maximum peace of mind for you and your customers.
When it comes to process connections, we also offer a wide range of solutions that ensure hygienic integration into your plants through dead space-free design and superior material and surface quality.
v Our tip: In addition to our “HYGIENIC BY DESIGN™” approach, which is the basis for all our products, we also have a range of specialized solutions. Process connections such as thermowells or the CPM adapter series simplify hygienic installation and operation and can even be retrofitted.
How can I comply with PMO regulations?
PMO stands for “Pasteurized Milk Ordinance”, a regulation that ensures that Grade “A” dairy products meet the highest safety standards in the US. The FDA issues a “Memorandum of Milk Ordinance Equipment Compliance” (M-b), a letter of conformity to show that a particular device/system has been found to be compliant with the requirements within PMO. This requires a comprehensive technical product review and in-depth evaluation of performance data by a regional Dairy Equipment Review Committee.
v Our tip: We have M-b’s issued for a number of products. This certificate confirms to the State Inspector that the device meets the standards and requirement within the PMO. If you use devices with M-b, you can face the inspections with confidence.
For continuous pasteurization systems like HTST we have M-b’s issued for following Sensors and Process Recorders. For VAT Pasteurization we have an M-b issued for the complete VAT Pasteurization Controls Package.
Process Recorder: PPR / AV9900

What can digitalization with IO-Link do?
Most Anderson-Negele sensors with IO-Link are equipped with “Flex-Hybrid Technology”, i.e. digital IO-Link and analog 4...20mA communication in parallel. Even if the plant is operated analog, you can commission all sensors with only one software via computer. Specific programming can be easily transferred to other sensors by copy-paste. And in the case of a sensor exchange, the entire individual programming is transferred simply by plugging it in.
v Our tip: With Flex-Hybrid Technology, you already have advantages in installation and commissioning. And if you switch to digital IO-Link technology later, there is no need for new sensors.
IO-Link
Your key to greater efficiency: sensors with IO-Link in Flex Hybrid technology. These make planning, commissioning and operating your plants easier, faster and more flexible. For existing analog plants Flex-Hybrid means easier programming, sensor changes with “plug-and-play”, and if you upgrade to IO-Link control at some point, the sensors are changed over just by plugging them in.
ŭ Extensive sensor program for almost all measuring categories
ŭ Only one software for programming and configuration
ŭ Suitable for all IO-Link masters
ŭ Add-on instructions (AOI) available
ŭ Automatic programming transfer when replacing a sensor
